    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 21st September 2016 Newsletter #140 By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan RIKEY DID the Vodafone Warriors get hammered at the weekend. The constant theme was that we Cneed a player clearout. That is hardly groundbreaking stuff, but what was, was that players were named. Hugh McGahan singled out Manu Vatuvei and Ben Matulino, arguing both had failed to live up their status as two of our highest paid players. The former Kiwi captain said Warriors coach Stephen Kearney could make a mark by showing the pair the door, and proving to the others that poor performances won't be tolerated. “Irrespective of his standing, Manu Vatuvei has got to go,” McGahan told Tony Veitch. “And again, irre- spective of his standing, Ben Matulino has got to go. They have underperformed. If you're going to make an impact I'd say that's probably the two players that you would look at.” Bold stuff, and fair play to the man, he told it like he saw it. Kearney, on the other hand, clearly doesn’t see it the same way, since he named both in the Kiwis train-on squad, and while he acknowledged they had struggled this year, he backed himself to get the best out of them. In fact he went further, he said it was his job. “That's my responsibility as the coach, to get the individuals in a position so they can go out and play their best.

  • Radio Lollipop Is Unique
    Radio Lollipop is unique. It’s exciting. It’s stimulating. It’s entertaining... and it’s for children in hospital! ☺ What is Radio Lollipop? Radio Lollipop is an international children’s charity, which provides Care, Comfort, Play and Entertainment to sick children in hospital and their families. It is run entirely by volunteers who operate an in-house radio station and undertake fun play activities on the wards with the children! We pride ourselves on being professional with volunteers who are conscientious, reliable and prepared to make a weekly commitment. Radio Lollipop is FUN but professional. ☺ Where did it start? Radio Lollipop originated in 1978 at Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children in Carshalton, Surrey in the United Kingdom. Designed to bring the joy of entertainment to sick children, the idea captured the imagination of the world, so that now there are Radio Lollipops located in United Kingdom: Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Manchester; New Zealand: Auckland and Middlemore; Australia: Perth, Fremantle, Joondalup, ourselves in Brisbane, Logan and Gold Coast, and in the USA: Miami and Houston. ☺ When does it operate? The station and ward activities operate: Mater Children's Hospital Logan Hospital Monday - Friday 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm Monday - Wednesday 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm Saturday 2.30 pm - 5.00 pm Gold Coast Hospital Wednesday & Thursday Saturday ☺ What do volunteers do? Each volunteer works on the wards with the children reading stories, playing games, helping with craft activities and competitions. But most importantly we provide companionship and a friend to talk to. Play serves as a means of alleviating boredom, stress, anger and fear felt by a child during their hospital stay.

  • Everyone Can Help Radio Lollipop and the Sick Children in Hospitals Around the World
    Media release: Everyone can help Radio Lollipop and the sick children in hospitals around the world What people say about us: “Radio Lollipop is not a frilly add-on. It is really helpful clinically - a calm child recovers better …every member of staff and parent and child think it is fantastic…” Madeline Ismach, 2007 Head of Psychosocial Services, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London Our Mission: Radio Lollipop is an international children's charity providing care, comfort, play and entertainment to sick children in hospital. Our Vision: To reach every child in hospital – anywhere, any time Our History: The Radio Lollipop service was founded in the UK in 1979 as a one-off project. After more than 38 years as an entirely volunteer organisation Radio Lollipop has grown to include over 10,000 volunteers operating in 32 hospitals in 5 countries. We operate satellite stations in number of suburban/regional hospitals. Since 1979 Radio Lollipop volunteers have directly helped over 5 million sick children in hospitals and reached over 13 million people worldwide. Our Objectives: To provide care, comfort play and entertainment for children in hospitals everywhere. Our Opportunities: 1. Modern hospital design is focusing on providing single-bed wards. This further isolates children and underscores the growing and continued need for Radio Lollipop and our play volunteers to help sick children connect to the world outside their ward. 2. To achieve our vision of reaching every child, everywhere we need to be flexible. We can deliver Radio Lollipop in a number of ways: a. Radio Lollipop Full service; an in-hospital radio station plus volunteers for ward visiting and one-to-one play with the children.
